I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you, on behalf of the party of 10 tonight, for hosting our second birthday celebration at Zaman's Coffee Spot. It truly means a lot to us. The hospitality was once again beyond expectations, and we're so grateful for the amazing customer service and welcoming atmosphere you provide every time. We always feel so well taken care of here. This has quickly become our go-to place for birthdays and special celebrations, and we're looking forward to many more visits in the future. The sweets/pastries are always the best and fresh too ! You can't go wrong with any kind you pick, they are all delicious and tasty !! read more

Beautiful, everything. Delicious, everything. Wish you had a location in Binghamton! read more

Back for a second round! I have to say that one of my favorite things about this place is that they brew their drinks to order. No premade drinks that have been sitting around all day, No loads of sugar that are forced on you. I order the Saudi coffee which was perfect and a festival cake which was heavenly. Staff was generally nice but I interacted the most with Alyssa (I hope I spelled the name right). She was accommodating and patient, which I really appreciated. read more

I've come here several times, ordered in app and picked up in the drive through and I've gone and sat inside with friends and family. Not only does Zaman provide pic worthy drinks and perfectly crafted treats they have curated a beautiful space that brings people together into the now. Everyone is so friendly it feels like community instead of the cold rush of chain restraunts. I'll always choose and recommend Zaman and I can't wait to see their new location! read more

Zaman Coffee House - Strawberry berry matcha with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

This coffee house is absolutely stunning! From the moment I entered I was in awe of the beautiful aesthetics that reflects the owners culture, simply beautiful! My coffee date and I ordered their biscoff latte, bubble cake and lotus tres leche cake. The pastries were simply delicious, rich but not overly sweet, portion sizes were perfect! While I did not get to try their coffee my date stated the ice coffee was delightful. Staff were all very courteous & helpful. I am looking forward to my next visit and tasting my way through their pastry menu. read more

I am a big fan but you are going off track. Your weekend table policy is unwelcoming, silly and doesn't make sense. Your concept was for customers to feel at home and not keep looking at their watches to see if time is up or if they will be kicked out. A minimum of 2 guests and max 1 hour. Really? read more

Zaman Coffee House - Weekend Policy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Love this place! A unique place to grab a treat in Syracuse. They have several types of coffee, American and Jordanian. I've tried both types of Chai and a pistachio matcha. Chai is more authentic and less sweet than what many Americans are use to but has a great depth of flavor and so comforting. Pistachio matcha was great, nutty, just a bit sweet, with matcha coming through. I sampled a variety of pastries, all were delicious but the Dubai cheesecake remains my favorite. Decent amount of parking for the coffee house and Walgreens next door and lots of seating inside, all low tops. Inside is cozy and so clean. read more

Overall, a nice additional to Syracuse! I rank coffee shops based, in part, on if they make their syrups or not. Zaman uses Monin, so minus a star there. It was really busy but I didn't feel I waited too long for my drink. There is a reward system that seems easy enough to accrue points. It's nice to still see some places rewarding loyalty. read more

Returned to try new items! I got their berry matcha, which was good but I, personally, prefer their traditional coffees. Last time I went, they had sold out of their baklava, so I thought I'd try again. This time, I came early enough to try their baklava. There were two different types to choose from - walnut filling and pistachio filling; I got the pistachio filling. The phyllo dough was wonderfully flaky and crispy and there was a good amount of pistachio in the filling. I really enjoyed it! read more

A cute coffee shop with great service and a wide variety of unique drinks and desserts to try. I had the Dubai latte with almond milk. It was delicious, though the coffee flavor was quite strong before stirring. Unfortunately, they were out of baklava, which seems to be a popular dessert there. Still, I was impressed by the selection of drinks, many of which I've never seen before. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood to try something different. read more

I know they just open so I'll adjust my review rating the more I visit. So I decided to stop here for the first time because I saw a few good reviews so far. First impressions walking in the place was bright and love the gold accents. Mocha Brownie Iced Coffee : it was delicious, a tad bit sweet for me but obviously mixed together it wasn't too bad. Strawberry Açaí Refresher : This was also good perfect sweetness, and much needed on a hot day. Red Velvet Cake : My little one picked this out, it was delicious, not overly sweet. We loved the strawberries in it as well. We can't wait to go back and try more menu items, the service was welcoming and friendly. read more

Very cute but spacious spot. All the regular coffee items but so many more middle eastern choices too and lots of pastries. Very friendly and fast service. I don't like super sweet pastries and ask for a recommendation, they said the pistachio cream cake wasn't overly sweet. It was light and delicious. Turkish coffee was very dark, nutty and rich. The pistachio latte with chocolate drizzle was amazing! read more

Zaman Coffee House - Pistachio latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

I had a Drs appointment close by checked the Toast app wait time was low so I ordered. Caramel latte and a Lotus cake. I went inside it was very cute and clean well lit. No signs on where to go for pickups so I didn't realize I needed to go through the drive thru for those. Anyway after some confusion on the staff behalf I received my order and left. The latte was terrific! Very enjoyable. The cake was pretty disappointing. It's mousse not actually cake. There was no description when ordering so probably won't order sight unseen desserts there but will definitely come grab a latte in the drive thru! read more

This used to be a Kubal coffee shop and they did a great job transforming the inside with improved seating, signage, and gold themed Arabic-inspired decor. I really liked the ambiance. I don't like super decadent and creamy coffees so I don't see myself coming here for a daily drink, but they offer many different styles of coffee. I'll be coming back to try the unique offerings over time, or when I want a sweet treat. You can customize drinks based on sweetness and milk preference. They also offer pastries and cakes, we got the baklava. This is a newly opened shop so drink prep was slow and there was some confusion at the pickup counter as drinks were being given out. The staff were very friendly tho! As the staff gets trained up and more organized I'm sure it'll be a 5 star spot. Check it out! read more

Finally made it to Zaman Coffee House and it lived up to the hype. The staff is very helpful and friendly, explaining menu items and offering suggestions. It is fairly small and cozy and has beautiful decor. We loved the hot pistachio latte with chocolate drizzle and the iced Nutella lattes. Both were ready quickly and had great flavors. We also tried the Turkish Carmel cake and Dubai chocolate cake, so delicious and elegant looking. We will be returning again soon! read more

They have some of the best baked goods I've ever had. Not too sweet, great flavors. The majority of the time drinks are made quickly and the line moves fast. Incredibly cute little place with stylish decor. I have enjoyed anything and everything Dubai chocolate flavored--cheesecake, matcha, mousse. They have traditional drinks such as teas and coffee. I will say the place is nearly always packed, and can be a hard place to find a seat and sit in. When I have had a bigger party we have waited off to the side for awhile until something was available. A decent amount of parking although some of that is sharing it with the closed business next door which may prove to be an issue later on if that opens. read more

I was super excited to try out a new coffee shop and Zaman was great! They definitely had a long line and full seating area for a reason. The interior is beautiful too, well designed, nice seating, comfortable which is all appreciated. I got the iced pistachio latte with oat milk and i've never drank a coffee so fast in my life - it was SO good! The wait was not good and the employees were definitely working super hard. I also have a sesame allergy (which I know is popular among middle eastern dishes) and really appreciate when the employees know the answer to allergy items very quickly, which they did. They also have multiple bowls of small chocolates on the counter that are up for grabs which I think is very generous. My boyfriend and I each tried one and I really enjoyed both. They were both dark chocolate, one with nuts inside and another with a rich dark chocolate mousse inside. I can't wait to go here more often and try more items on their menu! Their pastries also looked delicious so I will have to go a bit hungry next time to give those a try. This is a great new addition to Syracuse! read more

Lively cafe with delicious looking pastries. The drink menu was huge and the baristas were hustling.

Cute decor and a nice curtained place for a large party to reserve in advance. read more

Saw a tik tok on this and had to try. The vimto mojito (non alcoholic) is a sprite mixed berry type drink that's amazingly refreshing. The cakes were delicious ($9 a piece except for the Dubai chocolate bar) well worth trying and a beautiful interior. Fast friendly workers and delicious. Service was amazing and just fun sitting, eating, talking and listening to the cultural music softly playing! Also fun to have other customers go Ooooo what is that! Fun way to explore different things. read more

This place is an absolute must-try! I love a coffee that's not too sweet but packed with bold flavor, and this one exceeded my expectations. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try the Dubai Chocolate Iced Coffee -- and wow, it was out of this world! Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. I only wish I could find something this good back home in Arizona. I wasn't hungry during my visit, but the pastries and desserts looked absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

This place is esthetically pleasing. Pistachio latte was delicious. We got two coffees and three pistachio croissants and it was about $42. Everything was very rich and a bit heavy.

Absolutely loved it here; this location has been open for a few weeks and is amazing. We stopped here to check out this coffee spot and try some of their drinks. I'm so glad we came here. They have an assortment of fresh drinks and desserts. There is lots of seating available inside; they also have an outdoor patio. This is Zaman's first location, and hopefully they'll open more! Their drinks are freshly made and are strong, flavorful and delicious. We tried the tea, lattes and the chocolate. Everything was delicious and great! I can't wait to come back here for more drinks and desserts. I'm glad this spot opened and that they're offering the community a welcoming coffee shop. read more

I got there early and the line wasn't bad at all. So many drink options and desserts to choose. They are friendly and knowledgeable about their products so I got a lot of help my first time there. I had a Matcha Mango latte which was excellent, they are using very good quality products. I brought home two pastries because I couldn't decide on one. Pistachio cake with a vanilla icing and a chocolate pistachio mousse cake with a chocolate ganache type frosting. Both were delicious and packed with flavor. The decor is very relaxing and just meat and clean. read more

Wonderful first visit to Zaman! We were greeted by incredibly friendly staff who were patient in answering our questions about the menu. Our drinks came out in less than 10 minutes while we waited in their comfortable indoor seating area. As I got ready to take a photo of our drinks at the counter, one of the staff members adjusted the drinks to make sure I got the perfect shot! We enjoyed our drinks on their outdoor patio and talked about what we'd order the next time we visited! read more

Zaman Coffee House - Banana Matcha Iced Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

3911 Brewerton Road on Route 11 was a Starbucks, then a Tim Horton's, and most recently a Café Kubal. When it closed several months ago, Anas Almaletti and his brothers thought it would be the perfect spot for a Middle Eastern coffee café, which they have called Zaman Coffee House. Zaman means Time or Time Long gone in Arabic, and they offer Arabica coffee, Adani and Moroccan tea, and traditional Middle Eastern pastries and desserts. The coffee beans will come from Yemen. I enjoy a sweet, flavored iced coffee every now and then, and I was initially disappointed when Café Kubal closed at this location. I prefer to support local roasters over larger commercial chains, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a family-owned business would be moving in--and even more intrigued by the opportunity to try coffee rooted in a different culture. At the moment, Zaman is still in its soft-opening phase, so hours are slightly limited as they work out the details. I stopped in around 1:30 p.m. on a weekday. The café was already fairly busy, but the line moved quickly, and the gentleman who took my order was warm and welcoming. Since Dubai chocolate seems to be a popular trend right now, I ordered a Dubai iced latte and picked up two slices of Dubai cake to share later with my wife. The drinks did take a little time to come out, but given the steady crowd and from watching them prepare all the drinks, they clearly take a more careful approach to preparing their offerings than other places. The latte was excellent--rich, flavorful, and a pleasant surprise in its preparation. Not only was it infused with Dubai chocolate flavor, but it also included crushed chocolate pieces that added great texture and an extra layer of indulgence. The cake was equally impressive: moist, flavorful, and a perfect complement to the coffee. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. For two slices of cake and a 16 oz specialty coffee, the total came to $28. While a bit on the higher side, it's comparable to current prices at many coffee shops. Given the quality, hospitality, and unique offerings, I'm looking forward to returning and trying more from their menu, which extends beyond just coffee - there's definitely several teas and "refreshers" that sound amazing. I'd recommend giving them a try. read more

It's been nearly a year already since Zaman Coffee House opened at Sweetheart Corners in North Syracuse. Located in the former Tim Hortons and Café Kubal, they offer something different than the chains along Brewerton Road or the general area. Middle Eastern coffee is gaining more popularity in the US, and it's one of several places in CNY that have opened in recent months. I just had an iced coffee the last time I went, yet there were unique pastries as well. If you're on that side of town, stop by Zaman Coffee House. read more

I found this place by chance while driving from Chicago. I was looking for a coffee shop on Yelp and wanted to avoid the usual chains. Since I saw that this place was new and wasn't sure if they were open, I decided to take a chance and drive over. It turns out they were still training staff, but they kindly let me in to enjoy a Turkish coffee inside. The vibe here is great--clean, welcoming, and friendly staff. My Turkish coffee was strong and delicious, just how I like it. I also noticed the pastries, which looked amazing--though I'm on a diet, I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're here! I believe this place will do really well in the area. Totally recommend read more

I visited one Sunday in November with a couple of friends. It was so busy for an early afternoon but apparently the whole area had the same idea! We shared couple desserts and one coffee each. Everything looked amazing. One of the cakes was very wet, I don't recall the name. My coffee was delicious. I would go back and try other things. There was only one gluten free treat on the menu. I checked for my husband. read more

Wow! I am amazed by the attention to detail of the cafe's decor and architecture. It's incredibly spacious and well-lit, with a variety of seating options. As for the food and service, it is incredible! The employees are super kind. I tried an Adeni latte for the first time, 10/10. I also got the Pistachio Berry roll, and I highly recommend. It is as sweet as you would expect, and the outside has a flaky texture that pairs perfectly with the creaminess inside. read more
